The Free Land of Rentopia is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 80 million Rentopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rentopian economy, worth 3.46 trillion ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,215 ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school bands practice by moonlight, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rentopia's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rentopia is ranked 62,398^th in the world and 1,537^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
